Formic acid catalyzed isomerization of protonated cytosine: a lower barrier reaction for tautomer production of potential biological importance

Isomerization barrier for isolated unimolecular reaction is quite high, and its probability may be very small. Reduction of isomerization barrier is over 36 kJ mol^-1 in going from H₂O to HCOOH[three dots, centered]H₂O group catalysts.
